Everyone is culpable. But the ppl MOST culpable are the ones who made the decisions to use illegal drugs -- the players.

But it shouldn't be an excuse for Selig to overstep the bounds of the Collective Bargaining Agreement when doling out punishments. If he's free to violate it here, it sets a bad precedent moving forward.

Well he's trying to give ARod the longest suspension a player has ever received. And since it's all to do with PEDs, one would think he'd be following their tiered levels, not simply picking arbitrary numbers from the air. And then cutting deals with other players, like Braun. I just don't know where any of the penalties he's been pushing for this year align with baseball's drug policy.

And trust me, I'd love ARod to go away and the Yankees to save the money. But I also don't think Selig gets free reign to do what he wants.

You are 1000% correct. Attempting (badly) to stack the suspensions concurrently is a capricious piece of sh-t maneuver by an old tired fossil desperate to solidify his mediocre "legacy."

"Beats me. This guy behind me with the phone said he's a season ticket holder. You're going to have to ask him....."

I'm rooting for a-rod more and more this goes the less likely I think he will get even a season long suspension. It is kinda laughable how MLB's heavy hand has turned Arod into a victim. If they just followed their own rules none of this would be happening.
